SHELDON IS FORCED TO WORK WITH HIS NEMESIS, BARRY KRIPKE, ON "THE BIG BANG THEORY," THURSDAY, JAN. 31

"The Cooper/Kripke Inversion" - Sheldon is forced to work with Barry Kripke and faces a crisis of confidence. Meanwhile, Howard and Raj spend $1,000 on action figures of themselves, on THE BIG BANG THEORY, Thursday, Jan. 31 (8:00 - 8:31 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

Season finale is this Thursday! I can't wait! What did you all think of this season? I have to say that the show is keeping strong with very good ratings. It is the number 1 show for the night and its timeslot. Past couple episodes have been keeping good ratings for this time of the year with 15-17 million viewers (March-May) versus 12-13 million (March-May) last year. Plus with the DVR ratings, the show has about 20 million and more viewers per episode! The show really got a big bump this year with more viewers.

I really like this show but the current season for me is a little disappointing. It's not as funny as it used to be. There are hardly any physics or comicbook jokes and what I realy hate is the development of Penny's character. Lately the only time we see her is when she is holding a glass (or a bottle!) of wine and talks for 20 seconds to Leonard.

I agree! The larger the cast gets (with addition of more ladies and even sheldon's secretary), the quicker the episodes seem and they don't focus on one thing as much and it can be confusing and less funny sometimes.

SHELDON AND PENNY ARE THROWN FOR A LOOP WHEN LEONARD IS OFFERED AN EXCITING JOB OPPORTUNITY OVERSEAS, ON THE SIXTH SEASON FINALE OF "THE BIG BANG THEORY," THURSDAY, MAY 16

"The Bon Voyage Reaction" - A new success for Leonard makes Sheldon very jealous and throws Penny for a loop. Meanwhile, Koothrappali pushes Lucy too far in their relationship, on the sixth season finale of THE BIG BANG THEORY, Thursday, May 16 (8:00 - 8:31 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

"The Good Wife" star Christine Baranski has signed on to return to "The Big Bang Theory" for an early Season 7 episode in her role of Leonard's (Johnny Galecki) socially-challenged genius mother Beverly, TVLine reports.

Baranski's last appearance on the CBS' hit comedy was in Season 5's premiere, where she popped up via Skype to advise Leonard on his love triangle with Penny and Priya.

When she shows up in the Oct. 10 episode, it'll again be through Skype, as Baranski's "Good Wife" duties make it hard for her to leave the East Coast. While it's unclear what brings Beverly into the fold this time around, TVLine teases that, given her hilarious and bizarre connection to Jim Parsons' Sheldon, fans shouldn't automatically assume it's Lenard she's hoping to see.

"The Big Bang Theory" returns for Season 7 with back-to-back new episodes on Thursday, Sept. 26 at 8:00 p.m. ET on CBS.

TBH, I didn't really like Season 7 episodes 1-2 at all. As a fan of the show, I was utterly disappointed. I hope the show gets better soon, because I was so disappointed with the premiere
